Cirque de Soleil: Not Your Typical Night Out

Cirque du Soleil is the haute couture of live entertainment. If any of you have ever been to one of the twenty-two shows, I'm sure you know what I mean when I say that this circus is an upgrade from creepy clowns and cotton candy. I've never been a huge fan of the circus, mainly because of the numerous scary movies that have scarred me for life (thanks, clowns worldwide), but Cirque du Soleil reminds me why the circus is old school fun.

Cirque du Soleil has a wide array of shows, all of which are equally entertaining. Some of the most famous shows are "The Beatles-Love", "Michael Jackson-The Immortal World Tour", "Ka" and "Allegria". The blend of stunning visuals, enticing music and fluid acrobatics leave the audience feeling inspired and mesmerized. Bonus: the people watching is amazing. The captivating costumes just barely outdo the fashion you'll see in the audience-further proof that this is no ordinary circus.

Just remember: don't blink, because you might miss a guy flipping through the air or bending in ways that makes you turn to your friend and say "pshhhhh, what!?"
